Re: What is the power rating of the 50 Ohm dummy load provided with the nanoVNA?


 

As Larry says, 5W into your calibration standard would be a really bad idea.
If in the US, buy a couple Xicon 283-100-RC from Mouser, use two in parallel
for a 50 ohm load, will dissipate 6W all day long.

Or use twenty in parallel of 283-1.0K-RC in parallel,
good for 60W, 100W for short periods.
Total cost of US$2. (Plus $10 shipping)

Can I use it for a 5 W radio to calibrate it?
